#1 "Two kidney surgeries" = KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS???

MORE THAN TWO KIDNEY TRANSPLANT SURGERIES???

IMO it does explain why he seemingly had no Dialysis machines present before the Abbottabad raid, but does not confirm or deny any need by OBL as per DIABETIC MEDICS = GLUCOSE PILLS? INSULIN?

PANCREATIC TRANSPLANT???

I could be wrong, but in the US-released video of a blanketed OBL safehouse watching news on himself on TV, inside his Abbottabad compound, OSAMA APPEARS TO ME TO HAD GAINED [regained?] WATER WEIGHT AS THE LEFT SIDE OF HIS FACE APPEARED ABNORMALLY PUFFY OR ENLARGED, as is common wid diabetics???

ALL THINGS EQUAL, ABOVE = only convinces me more that OBL physical health was problematic or in decline, + that unlike times before he may had no choice but to stop roaming or moving around to escape capture by the US-Allies.

Again, I could be wrong - I would like to see other videos of Osama alive at Abbottabad.

FYI NET NEWS > IRAN = claims to have proof that OBL "DIED OF STROKE" YEARS AGO.

#2 OTOH TOPIX > [JPost] BIN LADEN WAS AN "ARSENAL" FAN [soccer], QUOTED DE GAULLE [ + WW2 British General Bernard "Monty" Montgomery].

OBL also liked VOLLEYBALL + [white]HORSES.

Yeeeepppp, although in my memory his appreciation of soccer came later in life.

I still have a deep respect for Osama's dedication to Islam + interpretation of historical events.

Unfortunately for Osama, he will miss his favorite 1960's = 1980's MTV Babe WHITNEY HUSTON going into rehab.

#4 I still have a deep respect for Osama's dedication to Islam + interpretation of historical events.

Ok. I know you're not a moonbat, Joe. But what is the meaning of this? You've insinuated many times that you knew the guy personally. I'm sure it's a long story, but could you explain why you have "deep respect" for a homicidal maniac? Please excuse my impertinence - I'm just very curious.

#5 Joe has supposedly had an "interesting" life. Occasionally, he gives off a Colonel Kurtz "snail on the edge of a straight razor" vibe.

#6 using "respect and bin Laden" in the same sentence is quite an oddity, indeed.

#7 It's better to respect your enemy than to underestimate him.
